Recent research indicates that drinking
Tomato Juice protects the heart
New finding: People with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (a
precursor to diabetes) who drank 8.5 ounces of tomato juice a day for
three weeks experienced a 30% to 40% reduction in platelet aggregation,
a key to the clot formation that can trigger a heart attack. This benefit is
believed to apply to healthy people as well.
Bonus: Tomato juice also reduces the risk for deep vein thrombosis
(DVT), dangerous blood clots that can occur after sitting long hours.
Helpful: Drink 8 ounces of low-sodium tomato juice each day. -- Manohar

A sore throat occurs when the mucous membranes of your throat
become inflamed and irritated. One natural anti-inflammatory,
marshmallow root, is particularly effective in soothing sore throat pain.
Use one heaping teaspoon of marshmallow root pieces in one cup of
boiling water. Let steep for 20 minutes and strain. You can safely drink
up to six cups daily.
For sore throats accompanied by cold and flu symptoms, try
peppermint or ginger tea. Peppermint reduces fever by helping you to
sweat, and ginger alleviates chills and aching muscles, and relieves
nausea. Use one teaspoon of dried ginger root or dried peppermint leaves
per cup of water. For greater convenience, tea bags also can be used.
Drink 3 to 6 cups daily. – Brigitte Mars
